Abstract: Currently six species of the genus Uromastyx (Reptilia: Agamidae: Leiolepidinae), representing three phylogenetic lineages, are known to occur in Arabia: Uromastyx aegyptia, U. benti, U. leptieni, U. ornata, U. thomasi and U. yemenensis. The present paper gives an overview of the taxonomy of these lizards and presents new data on the morphology and ecology of Uromastyx leptieni.
